My Rabbit Miscarried

[disneydude91]

Toay, DM an I went to see how my rabbit was doing and to clean and feed her if need be. I am in my school's FFA program and I have a female rabbit that stays at the agricultural barn. We go out there a couple days a week to check on her and tend to her. When I first got her I learned that she was pregnant. Well, two weeks ago DM and I were going out of town to visit family for the holidays.

Before we left I told my agriculture teacher that I would be gone for 2 weeks and what should I do about my rabbit? She said that she already had to take care of some animals so she wouldn't mind taking care of my own. When I went out there today I found my rabbit without any water or food and her cage was filthy. I took the top half of her cage off and what I saw immediately brought me to tears. I found one of her babies, dead, in the refuse. She had miscarried.

I felt horrible. I cleaned her cage and then I gave her some food and water. She immediately took to the food as if she hadn't eaten in weeks. She seemed to be ok though. DM and I went home and I called my ag. teacher. She told me that she had gone out there the day before yesterday and she hadn't had her babies yet. She also told me that she had been feeding her and watering her.

Right now all I am hoping for is that she makes it through the next week. I care very much for her and I am scared.

I'm so sorry that happened to her baby! That must have been awful for you to find her in those conditions and her baby not living. I'm hoping she has no problems and is healthy soon.

actually, this is not uncommon for a doe's first litter. the exact same thing happened with our rabbit's first litter. we only found one baby, and it was chewed on, there are no other animals around. the vet said she may have actually eaten any others. her next litter will probably be ok. i know it's a shock, good luck with her.

I'm sorry that your pet rabbit wasn't properly taken care of by your Ag teacher. That is really unacceptable!

I'm very sad for you. I hope your rabbit is okay. What becomes of the rabbit when you graduate? Do you get to take her home and keep her?
